1) The potential beginning of the Maty Mauk Era. Mauk represents the best chance for this program to get back to a level of respectability after horrendous QB play cost us multiple games last year.

2) The last year of the Gary Pinkel era. Pinkel's entrenched cronyism won't play in a conference this competitive, especially if he couples his abysmal gameday coaching with lackadaisical, worst-in-conference recruiting. Pinkel was the formerly adequate meal that has now turned into a four pound bowel obstruction. It's time to jam a Fleet's enema up our collective asses.

Here is the schedule. We dodge Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas in the west and the Non-con is decidedly weaker than years past.

I will eventually update the OP with a list of high profile in-state recruits that decide to go elsewhere after a half-assed attempt to gain their services. The inevitable cavalcade of *** rejects, skeezers, skanks, and scalliwags we get will fill out the ranks.

Razors, cyanide capsules, and Jonestown Kool-Aid are available in the break room. Second door on the left.

Since every Mizzou thread eventually dies of AIDS, I recommend starting anti-retroviral therapy immediately. I believe Walgreens covers Express Scripts.

Got a friend request from a guy I was in the Navy with that I haven't seen or heard of since the 80s who is a Cocks fan. After they beat Missouri he was totally up my ass about how we were jokes and would never get to this game - I had never said a word about SC to him one way or another and didn't even know he was a fan. It pissed me off, but I rolled with it.

Of course, tonight I returned the favor - dude logged off instantly. What a bitch.

Having lived in Columbia SC I have several friends who are Gamecock fans....and most are straight up. A few minutes after we won I got congratulations from most of them.
